The inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is considered the most venomous snake in the world with a murine LD 50 value of 0.025 mg/kg SC. [82] [83] Ernst and Zug et al. 1996 list a value of 0.01 mg/kg SC, which makes it the most venomous snake in the world in their study too.
In fact, it causes more deaths than any other snake in the world. It envenomates 75% of all bite victims, with a mortality rate of 20%. Further, it kills around 5,000 people in India each year.
The new species, described in the journal Diversity, diverged from the previously known southern green anaconda about 10 million years ago, differing genetically from it by 5.5 per cent.
The longest venomous snake, with a length up to 18.5–18.8 ft (5.6–5.7 m), is the king cobra, [1] while contesters for the heaviest title include the Gaboon viper and the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake. All of these three species reach a maximum mass in the range of 6–20 kg (13–44 lb).
But only one snake species can hold the title of the longest snake in the world: the reticulated python. The longest reticulated python on record measured 32 feet and 9.5 inches long.
